Benefits of technology

The optical device package structure described in this patent text prevents cracks and damage to the optical device and wire caused by changes in temperature and other environmental factors. The structure includes a lead frame with a mounting portion for the optical device, a wire, and a first resin that seals the optical device and wire. A second resin is placed on the side of the lead frame opposite to the side on which the optical device is mounted. The second resin has a lower coefficient of linear expansion than the first resin, reducing thermal stresses and preventing cracks. The structure also includes a crack prevention structure, such as a bent portion or an end portion of the first resin, that further reduces the risk of cracks. Overall, the optical device package structure provides better protection against environmental factors and prevents damage to the optical device and wire.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, there is a problem that, when the optical device package structure is used in a severe temperature environment where the temperature changes within a range of, for example, −40° C. to 105° C., the rupture of the wires and the destruction of the optical device are caused by thermal stresses in the light-transmitting resin.
There is a further problem that the light-transmitting resin cracks.

first embodiment

(First Embodiment)

[0067]FIG. 1A is a sectional view showing the optical device package structure of a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1B is a plan view showing the optical device package structure of the first embodiment.

[0068] In the optical device package structure, an LED (light-emitting diode) 6 as the optical device is mounted on the lower surface side of a mounting portion 5 of a lead frame in FIG. 1. An aperture 5a through which light emitted from the LED 6 passes is provided at the mounting portion 5 of the lead frame, and the light-emitting portion of the LED 6 faces the aperture 5a. The LED 6 is electrically connected to lead portions 3 of the lead frame via wires 9. The wires 9 are placed on the side of the lead frame in the mounting portion on which side the LED 6 is mounted. The LED 6 and the wires 9 are sealed with a low-stress resin 2 containing silica as filler. The low-stress resin 2 is placed on the side of the lead frame in the mounting portion 5 ...

Abstract

An LED is mounted on a mounting portion of a lead frame with its light-emitting portion facing an aperture. Wires that connect the LED to lead portions of the lead frame are placed on the side on which the LED is mounted. A light-transmitting resin, which transmits light emitted from the LED, is placed on the side opposite from the LED mounted side of the lead frame. A low-stress resin, which seals the LED and the wire, is placed on the LED-mounted side of the lead frame. A crack prevention structure is constituted of bent portions that are provided at the lead portion and bent toward the LED-mounted side, low-stress resin portions located on the side opposite from the LED-mounted side with respect to the bent portions, and end portions of the light-transmitting resin put in contact with the low-stress resin portions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an optical device package structure for use in comparatively severe temperature environments of, for example, optical communications, illuminations, automobiles and so on. [0002] Conventionally, there has been an optical device package structure in which an optical device of CCD (charge coupled device) or the like is mounted on a device mounting portion of a lead frame, the optical device and lead portions of the lead frame are connected together via wires, and the optical device, the wires and the lead frame are sealed with a light-transmitting resin (refer to JP 2000-173947 A). The light-transmitting resin is formed into a roughly rectangular parallelepiped shape of a material that has a satisfactory transmission property with respect to light incident on the optical device. A lens is formed integrally with the upper surface of the light-transmitting resin, so that the light is made incident on the optical device ...
